+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In stdlib.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn system "const char *string"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn system
+function
+hands the argument
+.Fa string
+to the command interpreter
+.Xr sh 1 .
+The calling process waits for the shell to finish executing the command,
+ignoring
+.Dv SIGINT
+and
+.Dv SIGQUIT ,
+and blocking
+.Dv SIGCHLD .
+.Pp
+If
+.Fa string
+is a
+.Dv NULL
+pointer,
+.Fn system
+will return non-zero, if the command interpreter is available, or zero if none
+is available.
+Otherwise,
+.Fn system
+returns the termination status of the shell in the format specified by
+.Xr waitpid 2 .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+If a child process cannot be created, or the termination status of
+the shell cannot be obtained,
+.Fn system
+returns -1 and sets
+.Va errno
+to indicate the error.
+If execution of the shell fails,
+.Fn system
+returns the termination status for a program that terminates with a call of
+.Fn exit 127 .
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr sh 1 ,
+.Xr execve 2 ,
+.Xr waitpid 2 ,
+.Xr popen 3 ,
+.Xr shquote 3
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn system
+function
+conforms to
+.St -ansiC
+and
+.St -p1003.2-92 .
+.Sh CAVEATS
+Never supply the
+.Fn system
+function with a command containing any part of an unsanitized user-supplied
+string.
+Shell meta-characters present will be honored by the
+.Xr sh 1
+command interpreter.
